Homestead Yoga of Alpharetta is the dream brought to life by sisters Carly Milyo and Avery Hinchman, built on their passion for yoga and the power of community. Carly’s journey began in 2010 when she transitioned from cheerleading to yoga. She kicked off her teaching career in Atlanta while working on the management team at Lululemon, quickly attracting a dedicated following with her energizing 6am classes at Atlanta Hot Yoga. In 2014, she founded Thunderbolt Power Yoga, where she nurtured students and led 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training programs.
Avery’s path to yoga started with dance. After years of expressing herself through movement, she sought a new outlet. Encouraged by her family, she began attending yoga classes, which filled a void she didn’t realize existed. Working at the front desk immersed her in the yoga community, and in 2017, she completed her teacher training, finding her voice as an instructor and forming meaningful connections with her students. Avery also brings dynamic knowledge from her training in both barre and Pilates, enhancing her teaching style and enriching the classes she offers.
The sisters’ bond is the heart of Homestead Yoga. They are excited to welcome you into a space that emphasizes connection, growth, and joy.

Will you share a recent wellness discovery?
We LOVE Darlin'. We actually found it when looking to stock our boutique so you can visit it to purchase (the perfect stocking stuffer). Darlin’s Tallow Magnesium Cream, is a superior alternative to magnesium oil and spray. Crafted with grass-fed beef tallow, magnesium oil, and jojoba oil, this cream offers deep hydration and soothing relief for tired muscles. Unlike magnesium sprays, our cream is non-greasy and absorbs effortlessly, providing long-lasting comfort. Infused with lavender, peppermint, and patchouli essential oils, it promotes relaxation and better sleep. Experience the benefits of beef tallow for skincare and discover the natural way to enhance your well-being.
